RLG-Web β3 Help and Information

This page explains RLG-Web and how to use it. Since the project is still under rapid development, details may change.

Browser Compatibility

RLG-Web has been tested using Firefox and Chrome; there should be no problems with recent versions of these two browsers. Safari and Opera ought to +work, though they haven't been tested yet. Internet Explorer 9 is compatible, but older versions might not be.

Starting Games

If you have already registered an account, you can log in. If not, create one with the "New name" button. Once logged in, RLG-Web will list your +saved games and let you resume them or start new ones.

If there are games being played, you can watch them whether you are logged in or not.

Use the "Stop" button to stop watching a game, or to force a game you are playing to save.

Playing Games

The games can be difficult to learn if you are not familiar with ASCII roguelikes. The '?' key will tell you what each key does. An 'S' will save +your game, and a 'Q' will quit.

The original method of moving around was with the vi-keys.

+ + + + +

y	k	u
h	.	l
b	j	n

This is the most reliable way of exploring.

You can also move with arrow keys, or with the number pad, if your browser recognizes those keys. If it doesn't, the simulated keyboard can imitate +them.

Note: Super-Rogue does not work with the arrow keys or the number pad yet.

Saving Games

If you accidentally close your browser, don't worry. If RLG-Web does not hear from you for a whole hour, it assumes you have gone away, and +automatically saves your game. Your strength 18 character with the two-handed sword on level 22 is safe from bugs. But the dragons are sure to get him.

Accounts and Passwords

rlgallery.org doesn't use https yet, so you should not assume your password is safe. Don't use the same one you use on your bank's website, etc.

You don't have to supply a valid e-mail address. It will only be used if you ask to have your password reset.

Missing Features

You can't watch games that are being played in dgamelaunch yet. The opposite situation works: you can use dgamelaunch to watch games being played +in RLG-Web.

You can't change your password or e-mail address yet. You will have to log in via ssh to do this, for now.
